Quote from: jlcsusara;302459Sorry, no. But looking at the Field of Blood website, it seems to have a full set of wargame rules... for miniature mass combat fun!

Yet Birthright has more character, history, maturity, and proven playability!

You decide!

Heh, yep, BR rocks. I think I might try the fields of blood thingie though because if I just were to use the domain rules I wouldn't be getting the character, history, and maturity anyway. Really looking forward to seeing what, if anything, wotc does with BR for 4e.

I don't have a name for it yet, but my idea will most likely contain an empire based on ancient Egypt, a culture derived from Gauls/Celts, and a culture derived from Vikings/Germans of some sort. I'm planning on making the Dwarven culture like the Roman Republic, perhaps even making Romulus and Remus dwarves who had stumbled into our world and had influenced and been influenced by their participation in the founding of Rome, with Remus going back home through the "gate" (or whatever) instead of being killed. Still hammering out details but if I do end up making my world's cultures derived from earth instead of just inspired by them I will probably run with that story. I still haven't decided if I want my "northern barbarians" to be based on Vikings or Germanic tribes like the Goths. My elves I plan on making more like halflings in DnD, small and quick, and perhaps neighbors of the Celtic based people, who consider them to be "little people" and "sidhe".

For Roma and Shades campaigns I am always researching and adding in elements from ancient Roman Empires, Chinese Empires, Norse and many other cultures. Shades is interesting in that it is 1930s type research and has a lot of prewar stuff like Chinese warlords and Japanese occupation of China along with all the stuff you are not taugt in standard high school history texts. It is really a period that is rife with adventure potential.

Oh, and some near future tech and future tech research for Supers Inc and Nebuleon. That can be really interesting but often, for some reason, I always run across a lot of weapons talk. For Zombipocalypse I was just doing some bio-mechanics research and came across an ORMODSIL or Organic Modified Silica which is a DNA delivery nanomachine used to deliver DNA to cells. It is in trials now. Cool stuff.
